~Gran Torino Sport Fastback - Unmolested Survivor~





DESCRIPTION:

Selling this incredible unmolested Torino.. Car has 75,900 miles.
All the paint is original to the car.. never repaired or repainted.
(Extra cost 6F 'Gold Glow' paint..not super rare but uncommon)
Completely stock under the hood.. 351 2bbl, FMX.
A couple very small rust spots between tire and door down low..very minor.
Frame, floors, trunk, cowl, door seams, hood seams etc are all great.

Interior is amazing.. . Never cut for stereo or speakers, even the rear deck looks new.

The tires are recent but raised white letters are correct for the car.
The windshield has been replaced, the rest of the tinted glass is original and in great shape.
The only deviation from stock was the addition of a nice manifold back dual exhaust sytem.

I have not detailed anything on this car..I wanted to present it exactly as found.
Just out of 5 years storage, all I've done is correct a fuel leak at the accelerator pump housing.
I replaced the accelerator pump itself (which is also the gasket) and that cured the leak.

Car runs and drives like new.. no rattles, creaks, squeaks, shudders..just a tight smooth ride.

North Carolina car.. one owner till 1996 when he passed. Car came to New England then and at that time
it had 71,784 on it.. It's been garaged and used occasioanally for cruises and shows.. Now has 75,900 17 years later.

I have a 12 part video series detailing the car if you are interested.
Contact me for YouTube links to the videos.

Known issues:
AC compressor turns freely, and turns on when called for but does not blow ice cold.
Temp gauge not working, including new sender/sensor with car.

Car is a blast to drive, very tight with no rattles or squeaks, responsive throttle, smooth ride.
Turns heads everywhere it goes, you just don't see the fastbacks much anymore.

I’ve included many pictures to help judge condition..but trust me, this is a great find
This car will walk away with survivor class trophies at car shows, its unmolested and fantastic.

There have been, and currently are several nice 72/73 GTS Torinos for sale here on ebay, however not
one of them is an original paint survivor car like this one. This car has nothing to hide, and is the nicest
unrestored Gran Torino Sport I've seen in many years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had some requests for more pictures, so here are more pictures..

First, some under car shots.
I have no lift so I had to just hold the iPhone under the car and take a few angles.

This is the passenger side front floor area and transmission crossmember:


.

This is looking under the rear at the gas tank and 9" rear end:


.

This is up under the rear and shows the frame meeting the bumper support area:


.

This is the same view from further back to show the gas tank straps and mounting area:


.

Here's the rear frame rail on the drivers side:


<[> .

Here is the fuel filler behind the license plate:


.

I'm including the 1973 Torino sales brochure and the owners manual (note last time registered was 2008):


.

The 'Sport' page from the brochure and one of the manual pages as well:


.

I'm also including the carb rebuild kit (I only used the accelerator pump when it came out of storage)
The rest of the carb is fine and did not need rebuilding, but this may come in handy in the future.
The small red box is the new temperature sender / sensor I am including as well.


.

Again, thanks for all the interest. I've had several good offers on the car but now that the reserve is met, the auction
will run its course and the high bidder at that time will win this fantastic Torino.
(and whoever that ends up being, will be VERY happy~!

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
